Happy to have the conversation.
My experience serving on a number of no-profit boards is that groups
like to have their independence and tight focus on what they are
trying to accomplish. I could see OAuth being part of OpenID given the
common constituents and technology -- but have a hard time seeing
OpenSocial and Microformats.
My $0.02 worth ... keen to hear other opinions.
